Tables that play a role in the Self Reported Tax Configuration
The OpenForms General Setting form is the administration application used for configuration of Govern’s applications and related integrations. Users that are familiar with the Govern for Windows applications can equate its functioning with the System Registry Maintenance form in the Govern System Administration (GovAdmin) application.
The OpenForms General Settings form is the administrative interface for configuring parameters required for General settings, GIS, Installed modules,
Tax functionality, Reports, i.e. Crystal Reports™ and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)™, and others.
| NOTE: Users of Crystal Reports will need to install the Crystal Reports 2013 runtime on the server hosting the application, and on each client computer. Refer to the Crystal Report Runtime section of the Govern DeployEZ™ Installer Guide for details. |
Registry Filter
The parameters that are accessible through the Registry Filter on the form allow users to configure the various modules and areas of the Govern application.

Copy to Year
Overview | See Also
This process copies all parameters and settings to a user specified year. Users should note that any existing parameters in the target year will be overwritten. Tables used are the following:
NOTE: Currently, the parameters that are required for A/R will still need to be copied in Govern for Windows release 10.8 through the Copy to Next Year selection in the Edit menu. This will copy current A/R Classes, A/R Methods and G/L Distribution parameters to the next fiscal year. You will now need to return to Categories and Levies to set the Class Codes.
The main purpose of this option is to copy all Year base parameter to another year. It will validate if the destination year exist, and if so, the user will have a warning message to override the data before execute the copy.

Fields on forms can require varying amounts of information. At times the space that is provided by the system default may not be sufficient; e.g. address fields. Depending upon business requirements, it is possible to adjust the width and height of fields that are displayed to the end user. The control parameters required are entered in the Business Tax Categories form under the Fields tab. In the GNA, the following parameters are available to be modified:
Width: This is the width of the field in pixels. No unit should be specified. If no value is entered, the system default width will be used.
Height: The value entered will control the height of the field in pixels. No unit should be specified. If no value is entered, the system default height will be used.
| NOTE: In order to implement this change in the Business Tax Categories form, two new columns are added to system tables (Table: ST_PARM_FIELDS.WIDTH, ST_PARM_FIELDS.HEIGHT). It is mandatory that the Verify Database process is run prior to accessing the form, otherwise the modification fields will not appear. |
